Chapter 598 A Changed Pleasant Goat? (Please Subscribe)
June 1st, Children's Day.
As a holiday dedicated to children, today is the happiest day for many children.
Because there are gifts and blessings!
And because of the June 1st Cultural Performance, many primary schools and kindergartens generally have a half-day holiday.
Great!
The children's joy also infected Gu Miao who was far away in Jiangchuan.
So, in order to repay the children's support for Wanbao's business over the years, he decided to give the children a "sincere" gift on this Children's Day——
The movie "Horse Galloping"!
As the second major theatrical film in the animated "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" series, this film carries many people's expectations.
Among them is director Du Hao...
As the director of this film, Du Hao once had an unbearable experience. His debut film "Starfall" is still mentioned and discussed.
Nothing nice to say, though.
As the saying goes, if a wall falls down, ten thousand people push it; if a drum breaks, ten thousand people beat it.
Netizens generally don't think independently. If the self-media marketing account has a slightly different rhythm, netizens will follow the trend and criticize "Fall of the Stars".
So crazy!
As a witness to "Starfall", I was also one of the first people to watch the premiere. Gu Miao believes that eight out of ten netizens today are making fun of themselves and have never watched Du Hao's movies.
It’s only been a few years, but there’s actually a marketing account complaining about the special effects of “Starfall”?
The key is, netizens still believe it!
Gu Miao didn't know what others thought. Anyway, as Du Hao's friend and the producer of the movie "Horse Galloping", he couldn't stand this kind of insult.
You can say that Du Hao during the "Starfall" period had too little directing experience and unclear expressions in camera language, so the quality of the film was average.
It can also be said that the script of "Starfall" is very cliché...
But the special effects really can’t be bad!
Those were special effects that Du Hao bought with his family fortune after losing his fortune. For a domestic science fiction film, the special effects performance is pretty good.
Du Hao is an honest man.
Netizens embarrassed him and marketing accounts ridiculed him, but he was too lazy to argue.
But the more this happened, the more unconvinced he became, and the more he wanted to prove to everyone through the movie "Horse Galloping" that he was not the useless director that netizens said he was.
Gu Miao supported him very much.
For the release of the movie "Horse", Wanbao Group has allocated considerable resources and allocated a publicity budget of over 30 million.
Even before it was released, movie posters had been plastered all over major offline theaters and commercial centers, and advertisements were all over the screen.
The theaters are also very helpful.
Although Du Hao has a bad reputation online, the theater chain is not a fool.
This is the Pleasant Goat movie!
Not to mention that Du Hao is actually not as bad as netizens say, even if he is really the king of bad movies, it doesn't matter.
As long as the movie carries the prefix "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", it can increase the film scheduling rate. Because the seven words "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" represent the double guarantee of popularity and box office.
No one has trouble with money!
…
The theater's high film schedule guarantee, Wanbao's vigorous promotion, and screen-full promotional short films and posters attracted many passers-by on this Children's Day.
Liu Zida is also one of them.
He had actually heard about the movie "Running Horses" for a long time, but he didn't expect that the movie would be released so soon!
He thought that according to the progress announced by Wanbao Animation, the theatrical version would not be released until July or August.
This is not a good thing!
Generally speaking, the production cycle of a movie is usually linked to the finished quality of the movie. That is, the longer it takes, the better the movie will look.
Animated movies, especially.
With such a short production cycle, it’s hard to believe that this is an animated film of online quality.
Isn't it just a fool's errand?
Concerned about the quality of the movie, Liu Zida bought a ticket and entered the theater at the urging of fans.
He actually didn't want to come.
For such an adult, he still buys tickets to watch the premiere of the Pleasant Goat movie. Doesn't he want to lose face?
Just go back and watch the online version!
But fans couldn't stand it anymore and kept urging him, saying that if he didn't go to the movie premiere or post a video review, he would cancel the show.
The audience is God!
In order to deal with the fans, no matter how reluctant Liu Zida was, he could only bear the strange looks of a group of children "So you also watch Pleasant Goat" and buy tickets to enter.
Oh my God! Spare him...
After entering the theater and finding his seat, Liu Zida's eyes suddenly darkened and he felt like he was about to die.
All kids!
There were either parents bringing their children or children around, but he, the "bachelor", seemed out of place.
The way the children looked at their "companions" and the parents looked at the "alien" in surprise, Liu Zida couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to dig out three rooms and one living room with his toes on the ground.
He knew this would happen...
Precisely because he knew that he would most likely encounter this situation, he resisted watching movies offline and only wanted to watch the online version.
well!
Liu Zida, who looked embarrassed, did not suffer for too long. Because of the attention of the surrounding children and parents, they were quickly attracted to the main feature of the movie.
He raised his head and looked at the big screen.
As soon as the movie opens, there is the familiar green grassland, the familiar Wolf Castle and Yangcun, the familiar Big Sheep School...
The village chief introduces the horse tribe.
Big Big Wolf encounters Biscuit by chance, Pleasant Goat and others rescue Biscuit, and Biscuit tells the story of his life experience.
Treat Biscuit's injured leg...
Big Big Wolf wants Biscuit to participate in the horse race meeting and win the position of clan leader, so that he can control the horse race to attack Yangcun.
Pleasant Goat and Biscuit become friends, and he wants to help his friend realize his dream, let him run again and win the horse racing championship.
Different ideas, common goals.
Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf chose to join forces, one using their own wisdom, the other using their own inventions, one pretending to be a red face and the other a white face.
Pleasant Goat acts as a good guy, comforting and encouraging Biscuit, and Big Big Wolf acts as a bad guy, threatening and coercing Biscuit. Both parties are training him.
A lot happened in between.
There are not so many funny plots, but watching Biscuit gradually grow from timid and cowardly to more confident and perseverant, the audience felt an unprecedented heart-warming healing experience.
"The style is a little different?"
As an old fan of the Pleasant Goat series, Liu Zida is very clear about the essence of Pleasant Goat, which is an animation that focuses on "joyful and funny".
But the style of this theatrical movie called "Horse Galloping" suddenly changed...
The plot is not that funny!
This is a healing and inspirational story about growth and struggle.
Is this okay?
Liu Zida, who always felt that "the goods were not right", had doubts in his eyes. Just when he felt that this plot was a bit too bland, the horse racing meeting began!

My nose keeps running and I feel so uncomfortable...
